After all, it is strange that man
ever laughs. Every step he takes is
towards his own grave. Man is a
creature that comes to us labeled
from the indefinite past to the in
definite future" Time, the tomb
builder, unlocks tho only gate
through which man may flee from
his bounding troubles. Life opens
like a morning in May, but its close
is a brown and murky autumn, fill
ed with biting winds and barren
trees, and across the gloom of its
shaded scenery all silently they pass
before us, faces we shall see no
more. Life is battle at best. In
marching through it we have to face
tempest oftenerthan we find flowers.
Those who die young reach home
ahead of US and get in sooner out of
the storm.

Steadfast--U nmovable

We like reliable men. They are
IKE springs Of water whose sources
are deep. The Bible says they are
like wells of water.n Palestine
was full Of springs which flowed in
the rainy season, but when the rains,
ceased and the land became thirsty
they ceased. But there were wells
OF water, perennial springs, never
gushing in time of food and never
falling in time of drought. There
are characteristic like these springs.
Some have spasms of activity when
everybody is active, and then SUBJ
side when the rest grow dull. There
are others who are steadfast. What
ever they are they are always. They
do not depeud on the impulse about
them for their impulse, and so they
Go not vary with the temper of their;
surroundings. We say of such men
we "know where to find them.n
Mere freaks of activity never &C
complished much because they do
not last. A man can do almost any.
thing for little while; a bad man
can be good; lazy man can be &C
tive; stingy nah may be gener-
Gus. But every mans character has
level to which it always gravitates.
1t may be thrown up like wave of;
the sea, but like a wave of the sea.
1t will come down again. 1t is not
hard to inspire very penurious
man with a spasm of liberality.-
After fervid appeal for some OBJ
ject of charity he often surprises us
by the largeness of his gift. But
this spasm of benevolent enthusiasm
will be atoned for by months of in.
tensifed stinginess. Men are often
urged up to special actions entirely
above the general plane of their
characters.
We look for a steady stream from
a steady fountain.

Trouble Ahead.

When the appetite fails, and sleep grows
restless and unrefreshing, there is trouble
ahead. The digestive organs, when healthy,
crave food. the nervous system, when vigorous
and tranquil, gives its possessor no uneasiness
at night. A tonic, to be effective, should not
be mere appetizer, nor are the nerves to be
strengthened and soothed by the unaided ac-
fion of sedative or a narcotic. What is re-
quired is a medicine. which invigorates the
stomach, and promotes assimilation of food
by the system, by which means the nervous
system, as we'll as other parts of the physical
organism, are strengthened. These are, the
effect of Hostetters Stomach Bitters, medi-
cine whose reputation is founded firmly in
public confidence, and which physicians COM
mend for its tonic, .antisbilious and other
properties. It is used with the best results in
fever and ague, rheumatism kidney and
other maladies.

NEW STYLE WATCHES.
Time.Pieces on Which the Usual Hands
Are Replaced by Figures.

Time. Pieces on Which the Usual Hands
Are Replaced by Figures.
The construction Of watches without
hands has lately attracted some atten-
ton, the usual hands being replaced
by figures denoting the hour and min.
ute, which appear at openings in the
dial plate; the mechanism is simple,
and only a few more parts are re-
quired than in an ordinary watch.
Two wheels are used to denote the
minutes one, which moves forward
once in a minute, being geared to a
second one, marked with the ten min
ute figures, and every ten minutes
tooth on the first wheel engages with
the teeth on the second, moving it for.
ward one figure. Thus, every min
ute Of the hour Is shown on
the face of the watch, and at its
completion, both minute wheels show
two ciphers, and are ready to begin
the round again, the hour is shown ON
a separate wheel, and an ordinary
hand indicates the seconds. VI tho
advantages of this kind of watch, it is
remarked that few people read tho
time of IN ordinary watch accurately,
and, if the experiment is tried Of
glancing at the face in the usual man.
ner, and then naming the time, it will
be found that an error Of from half
minute to three minutes will be gcncr-
ally made. With the new watch, it Is
claimed, no error can possibly occur,
and there is tho added advantage that.
at the end Of every minute, an audi.
bic click is sounded as the number
changes, by which one can measure
short intervals of time, even at night.

A CRUEL FASHION.

High up, mid leaves OF sycamore,
Now stirring now ut rest
Behold the gold.fiaked oriole
Perched on its hanging nest.
List to its mellow, CHEEKY notes
That through the woodlands ring,
And see 1t leap from bough to bough,
With brilliant, flashing wing.
Sweet, darling songster Of the woods,
Bartered at Fashions mart!
Cruel the hand which brings thee down.
More cruel sill the heart.
OF her who feels no keen remorse
While vanity is fed
BY slaughtered birds--no conscious pan8,
No shrinking, quivering dread.
BY woman worn as ornament,
What reproach to see!
A salient mark Of savage life,
This sign Of cruelty.
True hearted woman can AFFORD
Proud Fashion to defy:
With sweet Comparisons inward grace
No outward plume can vie.
